The differences between Bean Factory and Application Context are as follows:
  • Bean Factory is an interface defined in org.springframework.beansfactory.BeanFactory, while Application Context is an interface defined, is org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext
  • While the former uses lazy initialization the latter uses aggressive initialization
  • While the former explicitly provide for resource object using the syntax the latter creates and manages resource objects on its own
  • The former doesn’t support internationalization while the latter does.
  • The former doesn’t support annotation-based dependency while the latter does.
